The interior designers 3 buck chuck
About a year ago I discovered an app that would change my world forever within the interior design and “being a renter that moves fairly often” world. The app is Magic Plan . The idea behind the app is simple use your smart phone to take measurements of your space. Tape measures are a thing of the past ladies and gents, because Magic App will help you create a complete blue print of any space you want to measure and it will do so for only 3 bucks per floor plan! there are many other purchasing and subscriptions options available, no matter what your goal is. Real estate agents, renters looking for a new pad, or the part timer with a few rental properties to help with the mortgage no matter how big your investment is in the real estate sales or rental acquisition business this app is definitely worth checking out.
To give you an example of what the app can do and how I used it to help find the best rental for myself and my individualized set of needs I’ve included what I created with the amazing Magic App.
Design versus Decoration
Think about this concept for a minute. Its very interesting to me that two very complex concepts can be instantly rationalized and compared just by reading the words.
How to change google voice settings-
Log into gmail account
On the top of the page there is the word ‘more’ and an arrow.
Select arrow and scroll down to ‘even more’. Select ‘even more’.
A new window should open up displaying all the different apps that google offers.
click on ‘Voice’ App
In upper right hand click on the wheel icon (this is where your settings are located)
choose ‘Voice Settings’
Choose the ‘Voicemail’ Tab
A new recording can be created under the first option, titles ‘Voicemail Greeting’
Once you choose a name for your new greeting Google will confirm your cell # and call your phone to record the greeting through the microphone on your phone.
Hot Buttons
While researching for my new job today I can across this wonderful example of the underlying concept of ‘The Hot Button’ concept.
The Hot Button Principle
You’re Selling What?
Way back in the olden times, before digital cameras were invented, George Eastman, the founder of Kodak, rallied his sales force around him. He asked them a simple question.
“What is this product we are selling?”
The sales force was puzzled. “Cameras,” said one.
Mr. Eastman shook his head from side to side.
“Pictures?” asked another.
Eastman again said no.
“Film,” said yet another.
“No, my friends,” said Eastman. “You’re all wrong. We’re not selling any of these. Those are just the by-products. A camera is a piece of hardware that anyone can make. We’re selling memories. Memories of good times. Memories of family. We are creating memories.”
Questions to consider before getting engaged
A very important difference in the different listening styles between men and women
Men listen differently than women do. Women tend to nod their head and make comments, such as “ah, uh-huh, wow, yes, right” during conversation to indicate they are listening and involved. Men tend to listen like a wall, quietly observing until the other person finishes their statement. Being sensitive to this difference in how men and women communicate (and adapting, as appropriate) will improve communication between partners.
Banana dances for new iPhone 4!
Whats the occasion? I have figured out how to upgrade to the new iPhone 4 with Verizon without having to pay the full $300!! ( want the 32 GB, which is $299)
Pure genius if I do say so myself. Ok, here’s the plan.
1. Buy new iPhone
2. Transfer all contacts and info from my HTC Incredible to iPhone 4
3. Post Craigslist ad for HTC asking between $270-$310. I plan on including a 32GB mini SD card, both car and wall chargers, protective case and three new screen protector sheets.
*The 32GB by itself is worth between $60-80, the chargers are worth $5-$30, and the screen covers and case were $25 .
I can include the apps I’ve purchased, if I can figure that out that is, which is likely at least worth another $30-50.
Crossing my fingers this works out as planned, wish me luck!
Ideas for how to deter running children and stray cats from your yard
I wasn’t the only one excited when I started a vegetable garden last spring. There were my roommates of course, dreaming of the delicious vegetables they got to eat and I got to grow. There was another somebody though, a quiet reserved somebody, that didn’t lead on to his joy. The garden became the perfect for my cat and his ‘business’. I can imagine why he was so fond of it after all, soil so soft and loose it was just begging to hide his ‘treasures’. The problem with this is the lack of sanitation that can present itself when in the proximity of food. Since this was a pesky problem that I didn’t expect I ended up having to toss several rounds of radishes and carrots. But not this time, no sir, I’ve done my research and am preparing to win the battle this year. Bring it on Boo Kitty, bring it!
First green idea:
You can plant things to discourage cats, such as geranium, pennyroyal, rue, lavender, garlic, lemon thyme, lemon verbena, and other strongly scented plants. You can also lay chicken wire in your flower beds, as cats dislike like walking on wire. In addition to chicken wire, you can use pine cones, nut shells, and short stakes to discourage cats from walking in your yard; cats also don’t like walking on coffee grounds and eggshells, both of which happen to make great fertilizer.
My personal fav:
Some people find that an automatic sprinkler does the trick when it comes to getting rid of stray cats. Sprinklers can be installed with motion-sensitive detectors which cause the sprinkler to go off when an animal walks by, and they can be moved around so that the animals don’t learn to subvert the sprinkler.
I found this info here.
